Had a fantastic time on the opening day of the National Eisteddfod of Wales - held this year in the Vale of Glamorgan. Despite the weather forecast being awful - it was forecasttorrential rain and thunder storms!! - in all fairness the rain held off for the best part of the day and what a day it was!!

For the first year there was a 'Maes Gwyrdd' which offered a whole range of ecological activities and entertainment. There was an electric car on display which was powering a small office, basket weaving, wood carving - using a hatchet - which I found amazing. I absolutely loved the wind harps. Iolo Morganwg was there in the form of a statue. There was Welsh Folk Music being played whilst youtried to take in all that was going on around as well as the wonderful garden displays and other arts and crafts. Hopefully I'll be going back later on in the week.

I've already taken loads of pics of the Eisteddfod, so will post some, that isif my computer skills allow me.

Pob hwyl.
